The invitation came fsom Secretary Acheson just as I was leaving for the East, and was announced in my absence. I realize my great deficiency for service in this capacity oui ie I could represent the general public and particularly the Pacific Northwest which has supported very loyally the cause of United Nations. Believing firmly as I do that we must find a solution for our international disputes through the means f negotiations and diplo macy rather than by military might and that the United Nations offers one opportunity for hammer in out agreements.
